Nespresso for Ferrari Coffee Machine

Filed under: Gadgets

What do you do when you need a cup of coffee, and need it fast? Start up your Ferrari espresso machine, of course! This machine is the brainchild of designer Ilgar Rustamov, and while it remains a concept at present, knowing Ferrari's penchant for churning out branded...well, everything, it could be only a matter of time before we see it on store shelves.

The design, as you can see, centers around a Prancing Horse-emblazoned carbon-fiber racing helmet. Open the tab to pour in the water, lift the visor to brew your cup of espresso, and pull out the chin to pour out any excess spillage. You'll be buzzing like an F1 engine in no time.

Filed under: Dining

Jura is releasing a new set of signature coffee machines this spring that will not only make you a great cup of Cappucino, Latte, Machiatto, or Ristretto at the simple touch of a button, but will also add some serious style to your kitchen in your choice of unique finishes: the Z5 comes in aluminum and rhodium with a Swarovski-encrusted rotary dial, the J5 is your choice of Columbian walnut or northern birch veneer finished in 15 coats of high-gloss lacquer, or the ENA 5 is finished in fine handstitched red or brown leather.

All that style and of course they still promise awesome functionalities like perfect grind, water temperature, and pressure every time plus fun features like a height-adjustable spout and cup illumination. Pricing is yet to be announced but look for these this June exclusively at Harrods.

OTTO Stove Top Espresso Maker

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

I can't help it, my first thought whenever I see something so overly shined up like this is ugh, I'm going to get fingerprints all over it. But fingerprints or not, if exterior appearance has anything to do with it the OTTO Stove Top Espresso Maker must make a pretty tasty brew. And if it doesn't well, then at least it looks great sitting in your kitchen.

Made almost entirely of stainless steel, the OTTO comes packaged in a premium travel case complete with two Italian-designed latte glasses, a stainless steel milk jug, and a barista training session on DVD. $420

Illy's New Hyper Espresso

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining, Gadgets

Italian coffee company illycaffè has created a new easier way to make your espresso. Their new system is called iperEspresso (hyper espresso) and this month Illy is launching the Francis Francis X7 with iperEspresso, a capsule system that uses a two-phase preparation process to create the perfect shot of espresso. The first step is hyperinfusion, in which the coffee and water come into contact under optimal pressure conditions, followed by the emulsion process, in which the coffee passes through a valve to form a rich and velvety crema (the thin layer of foam at the surface of the espresso). The iperEspresso's crema yields more volume and height than a traditional shot and can last up to fifteen minutes as compared to the average espresso's five minutes. The coffee never comes into direct contact with the machine so cleaning the machine is far easier. IperEspresso has been released commercially and is currently used in restaurants including Le Bernardin and Nobu, as well as at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

The new system is available in the popular Francis Francis X7 machine for a special intro price of $395 and the Francis Francis X8 is available for a special rate of $495. The coffee in the iperEspresso capsule is the same used in the cans and in café espresso and is available in two different roasts: medium and dark as well as decaffeinated capsules .A 21-serving container of capsules is $15.95

Victoria Arduino Venus Century Espresso Machine

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining, Gadgets

If you love both espresso and having something exclusive, then this Victoria Arduino Venus Century Espresso Machine (say that ten times fast!) is worth checking out. Only 100 of them were created, and they're currently selling #34, with the first one having gone to the Pope. The first Victoria Arduino machine was built in 1905, and in the years since their reputation has grown to one symbolizing beauty, elegance, and refinement (among many other things on their list!). This particular espresso machine design was created by Pier Teresio Arduino and can be yours for just a tad under $20,000.

Gaggia Achilles Espresso Machine

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining, Gadgets

Gaggia is one of the most respected names in espresso today, and for the use of home espresso machines we can thank Achilles Gaggia, who patented the first electric pump motor - vital for consistently creating enough pressure to produce good espresso - in 1938. Prior to this invention, the operators of manual espresso machines used pistons to manually adjust the pressure - The Gaggia Achilles is named after the man. It is almost identical to the design used back in the 1930s, a lever-operated machine with a stainless steel body, chromed brass group head and filter and a 32-oz water reservoir. The machine performs best with freshly roasted and ground beans, but will also work with special espresso pods, though if you're going to get a Gaggia, it is worth knowing the intricacies of the coffee bean as well as the machine itself. Price: $1,499.95.

Bodum Granos Espresso Machine

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Estates

A post on Product Dose led me to the latest cool coffee gadget from Bodum. The Bodum Grano Espresso Machine comes with a steam wand and one touch simplicity. The pump espresso machine is programmable and works with ground coffee or espresso pods. It also has a cup warmer and a water bottle adapter. It sells for $499. Very cute in a spaceship sort of way but I wonder if this thing ends up looking pretty battered after not a lot of use.
